Digital Rebar Provision

Welcome to the Digital Rebar Community, home of the open source Digital Rebar Provision (DRP) project. DRP is the data center provisioning and content scaffolding designed with a cloud native architecture replacing Cobblerm Foreman, MaaS or similar technologies. It offers a single golang binary (less than 30MB) with no dependencies capable of installation on a laptop, RPi or switch supporting both bare metal and virtualized infrastructure.

Digital Rebar Provision is a production-ready open implementation that can be designed to reliably deployed in large-scale, multi-site data centers as well as soon to be deployed edge sites. This effectively productizes best practices in a way that allows creation of consistent and discoverable operating environments. Users benefit with fast time-to-value and the community benefits by having consistent installations across the ecosystem.

Digital Rebar Provision is an Apache2 licensed Project. As the community sponsor, RackN provides day to day management of the community including the GitHub site, development activities and community promotion. Additionally, RackN offers commerical support, custom integrations, training, and advanced technology for Digital Rebar Provision users interested in extending the open source feature set.
